Jean-Jacques Annaud, acclaimed director of international hits such as The Name of the Rose, The Lover and Seven Years in Tibet, offers a blow-by-blow recreation of the gripping events that took place on 15 April 2019, when Notre-Dame de Paris suffered the biggest blaze in its history.

All the components of a fiction script were there. In the title role: an international star, Notre-Dame de Paris. Her opponent: a formidable and charismatic demon, fire. Between the two, ordinary young people prepared to give their lives to save stones.’ – Jean-Jacques Annaud

An immersive narrative incorporating genuine footage, the film retraces how heroic men and women put their lives on the line to accomplish an awe-inspiring rescue.
